A Special kind of Mathematics

Calculating your chances of getting lucky tonight…

Take one marital sex life, add 500 points
Divide it by 10 after first child
Divide it by 100 after second child
Find the square root of that number after third child
If you are nursing a baby, subtract 20 points
If you are nursing a baby, add 80 points (big boobs)
Erase all points if you are currently living with a newborn
Subtract 5 points for each load of dirty laundry sitting in the laundry room
Add 10 points if hubby mowed the lawn recently
Add 20 points if it is winter (who am I to argue with statistics?)
Add a zero to your number (15 becomes 150) if your child currently does not have colic, an ear infection or the croup
Add 3 points if it is payday, ahh, make that 2 points (inflation)
Add another 10 if the lady of the house won tonight’s battle of the remote control
Add 10 points and a chocolate martini if you are still with me.
If your mother in law lives within a 5 mile radius, divide by 2 and start over
If Grey’s Anatomy is on tonight, erase all points
If it is a re-run, ….Hmmmmm…OK…add 10 points
If it is after 9:00 PM, stop your calculations and start again tomorrow
If your child is over the age of 21, stop calculating and see How to Calculate if your Adult Child is Getting Lucky Tonight.

Results

200 points or more- I know what’s been going on in your house!
100 points or more-Just a friendly reminder that the bedroom tango is still on!
50 points or more- Well...Go ahead, add a zero to your number and see above
Less than 50 points- Sorry, not in the cards for you, but go ahead, add a zero and see above!

Claire F Rich said...

I've always wondered how big families happen.

Tara said...

ROFLMAO!!

So funny! I loved the "add a chocolate martini if you're still with me"
So cute.

WheresMyAngels said...

Oh that is good! and so true!

nikkicrumpet said...

Now that is funny...true...but still funny! Thanks for visiting me on my SITS day...and with so many people to visit...guess who ain't gettin any!

LORI said...

VERY, VERY FUNNY! MY SCORE WAS NEGATIVE 27--IS THAT BAD??!

Elizabeth M Thompson said...

If it is past 11pm and you are up reading funny blogs, subtract all points and start again tomorrow.

Sandra said...

I think I'll paint that on my bedroom wall.

Anonymous said...

ughh! You hit the nail right on the head!

Young Momma said...

LOL!!!!

Now I want a chocolate martini. I've never had one and everyone keeps talking about them!

BloggessJ said...

AWESOME! I am sooooo adding you to my list of blogs I "stalk"!

Marie Reed said...

I am officially hooked and am following your blog!

Betsy Eves @JavaCupcake said...

ROFL That was hilarious!

Givinya De Elba said...

I liked that. If I had an adult child, I'd be interested in Version 2 - calculating if your adult child is getting lucky tonight ...

Sarah J. said...

Funny! Wow, I really have no chance tonight!

Unknown said...

I have to agree, you are the funniest blogger that I've read in a long time.

JessicaMarie said...

So so so so funny!

Anonymous said...

Love your sense of humor! I got a kick out of this part especially.
If your child is over the age of 21, stop calculating and see How to Calculate if your Adult Child is Getting Lucky Tonight. LOLOL

Happy SITS day!

Preston said...

Very clever but there are no babies in this house. (my baby is 29) So where's that Adult Child test? Happy SITS day!

Willo said...

I love that you take 10 off after first child and 100 after second. How accurate! My question is, when does it get better?

Carrie said...

Happy SITS Day! I have an unfair advantage here since we don't have kids. Of course with all the points we seem to have, I don't know why! :)

Anonymous said...

The numbers never lie.

I love it. The after 9 pm part is sad, but true in my house.

said...

I do believe this points calculator is spot on!

Queenie Jeannie said...

It's sorta against my religion to do math in the early morning! Let's just say everyone is tired and cranky and I don't WANT sex with that grumpy man right now!!

Maybe tonight....maybe.

Heather said...

My favorite is if it is after 9 erase all points and start again tomorrow. Sad but so true. lol! Happy SITS day!

Susan said...

Too funny and all to true!

Ava in Wonderland said...

LOL that is funny!!

Tara said...

SO TRUE!!! i can't stop laughing!!!

Ryan Ashley Scott said...

Too funny! Although I think all the zeros being added at the end make for a rather inaccurate chart. Haha!

Leslie said...

What about subtracting points if there is laundry, dishes or other household chores to do? :) Very Funny!!

Sarah said...

Again...just too funny!

Jeanne Estridge said...

I am not showing this to my husband -- it will make him unwarrantedly optimistic.

Cathy said...

My poor hubby...he never has a chance!

Anonymous said...

I'm glad someone finally came up with a formula I can point to when the need arises. :)

You are one funny lady.

Erika said...

How much do you add (subtract?) if today is your child's birthday??? LOL!!!!!

Congrats on your SITS feature!

Gaspegirl said...

ROTFLMAO... that is too funny and so true... I am sending it to my hubby ;)

Make it a great day!

Unknown said...

Okay, I had so few points, I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. I think I'll just go and craft something. Yeah, that's better than sex anyway.

RuensOnTheRun said...

LOL & true!

Heather said...

That is hysterical! I love it!

Ahh, the poor husbands. They never knew what they were in for when they entered into this whole parenting gig, did they?

Congrats on your SITS day! Have fun basking in the comment love!

Jaden Paige said...

lol. I think the math on this actually works out! lmao! :)

So glad I found you. What a great blog!

wendy said...

I think it best NOT to show this formula to The Husband lest he find a way to manipulate it to his favor! LOL!

Happy SITS day!

Unknown said...

Thanks for the laugh this morning... that was brilliant and SO TRUE!

Anonymous said...

That's a little too complicated for me. Hehe.....wow!

Anna Lefler said...

I don't need to add a zero.

I AM a zero.

;^) Anna

Anonymous said...

So the moral of the story is that even if sex is not in the cards for you, you should still have it to keep your sanity right?

And if you need a few martinis to get there no one's gonna hold that against you too.

Jacie said...

So funny.

April said...

Happy SITS Day...that was humor at it's best!!!

Anonymous said...

I had -100 when it was all said and done. I guess that means DEFINITELY none for me lol. Happy SITS day!

Hccm said...

Well since my answer is negative 0, you know where that leaves me.

Astrid in Bristling Acres said...

OMG! Too too funny!!!

Mimi said...

*sigh* Sad, but true!

Lyssa said...

I'm sorry did you define SEX in this post? I'm unsure what your talking about?

Anonymous said...

Funny and sad at the same time. So true, so true. Stopping by from SITS!

Tiffany said...

Oh my goodness, what a great description of calculating those odds!

Sarah Suzy said...

I'm afraid my poor husbands chances are slim tonight, Greys Anatomy is new!

Pseudo said...

I knew this would be hilarious. AH, I remember those days.

The math works in your behalf once they are old enough to drive.

•´.¸¸.•¨¯`♥.Erin.♥´¯¨•.¸¸.´• said...

Okay...I actually did this little equation. And it would have been SO much higher if my MIL didn't live so close! :) 631.5

Enjoy your day basking in the SITS love!

Charmaine said...

Wow - I don't even think my number computes. My poor hubbie.

Anonymous said...

I'm in the negative area.

Sigh.

Melodie said...

How many points can I subtract for being in my first trimester of pregnancy and completely nauseous all of the time?

jori-o said...

THAT is brillaint math!

Anonymous said...

This is hysterical! It's still a little too early in the day for my brain to do numbers, so I'll have to come back later and do the math.
:)

L said...

I stopped counting at "square root", it was more work than sex and not as much fun. :-) My kiddos are 5 and up so we just lock the door! hehehe...

Honey Mommy said...

Now you know why I can't wait for my kids to grow up a little bit!

Marrdy said...

Did you make that up? What a great talent you have. You actually lost me at the square root part. I'm sure my score is negative something!

My First Kitchen said...

Awesome. Sooooo awesome. I hope you love all the comments today! I'm guessing you're going to get a lot. :)

Barb said...

OMG....LMAO... that is too funny.... love it....
thanks for the laughs... I am visiting from SITS...happy SITS day

Judy @ In His Grip said...

Love the crazy math. But, however you slice your man is never getting enough, am I right?

wenderful said...

Genius! I'd like to see someone who scored ANY points on this scale. Happy SITs day!

Pamela said...

I am not sure I add correctly. I will have to hide my results from my husband! LOL Thanks for the funny posts, they are exactly what I needed for my winter blahs!

mommytoalot said...

Great mathematics there...maybe now my husband will finally understand

Anonymous said...

With a preschooler and twin infants, I can relate all too well....*sigh*

Girly Do Hairstyles said...

Okay you just became one of my favorite new sites. Too funny!

Ali said...

I'm showing this to my hubby--he has no idea of all the stuff women have to factor in to be in the mood!

jubilee said...

Again, you've said what others are afraid to on the WWW. Love it.

blognut said...

After that mathematically flawed formula, nobody is getting lucky! We're too exhausted and we're going to sleep!

Aubrey said...

BWAHAHAHAHA!
Wait? Should I really being laughing?

Stephanie said...

That is hilarious! I've raised 3 kids, 2 have now flown the nest....this is the closest to the truth on this topic than I have ever seen!

Awesome post!

Happy SITS!

{leah} said...

I totally get this!!!! I'ld like to add to this...

Subtract 50 points if you have 3 kids (all with in less than 3 years of each other) and add 150 points if you have a baby gate and locking doors that work.

Anonymous said...

OMG this is sooooo me :P

Kate said...

Happy SITS Day! My score was pretty high but I'm a newly wed. Thanks for letting me know what I've got to look forward to when we have kids....

Courtney said...

wow, I actually scored in the negatives....

Kendra said...

So true...how about two of the three kids have disabilities, and the other is a 18 month old monster. LOL

Nothing happening here.

Happy SITS day!

Tiffany @ Lattes And Life said...

HAhahahaha..Guilty...again. Especially love the Grey's Anatomy reference. Don't bother me when my Grey's is on!

Vickie said...

Happy SITS Day!! Another great post!

I got lost when you said divide by 100. I only took 2 math classes in college.

But, my number would be low. That is just the way it is:) But, He would think it was high.

Anonymous said...

This is about as true as it can be! I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying. Just so you know, you have to take off points when you have teenagers, because they stay up later than you do and actually know what is going on if you disappear a little too early.

Elaine said...

Funny, funny post!

www.AForestFrolic.typepad.com said...

Umm, math is so not my subject....but freakin' hilarious post! I have 3 kiddos & a husband who acts like he's a teenager...poor me, hehe!

Shannon said...

Very funny!

Tara Bennett said...

Reeni said...

That was cute! As a single woman I don't have to do all that math to figure out my chance...

Sherrie said...

LOL! Too funny! Happy SITS day to you!

Katie said...

I love it! I just sent it to my sisters so they could read it too. I know they will get a hoot out of it. Love your sense of humor!

Anonymous said...

I got a good score! What does it say about me that I'm more excited about the chocolate martini?

Anjanette Young said...

I always think I have points, but than I pass out COLD as soon as we go to bed.

Stacy Uncorked said...

LOL! Hilarious! Happy SITS Day to you! :)

It's too true to be funny...

amen on the grey's anatomy

angie said...

No kids and not married (live with my boyfriend), so I'm glad I didn't have to figure out my chances - I never liked math!

The Southern Newlywed said...

hahaha. so funny!! no kiddos yet, I'm thinking I should keep this around for awhile!

Maggie Sue Designs said...

So funny! But Grey's is not a repeat tonight, so hubby knows not to talk to me at all during the show; much less get frisky tonight!

brillliant. Can't wait to be married, and actually qualify lol!

Congrats on your SITS day!

Rhea said...

That's hilarious. And so true. Brilliant.

Esther said...

How many points do you deduct if you're in the middle of a good book and also if your children have that in-built radar that tells them as soon as you're getting intimate that now's the time to disturb you. Seriously, they could ignore me all day, but as soon as that door closes, that's when they want me to find that particular shirt or break up a fight or help them with something.

Ani said...

hmmm... I'm not sure how I feel about those odds! lol

momma said...

this is one math equation that i understand!

Anonymous said...

So cute!

Michelle said...

Heh. My husband would SOOOO agree with this. What happened?

Mrsbear said...

You've put some thought in to this. ;) How about subtract 50 points if you need to dig a calculator out of the junk drawer to get the end result. Thanks for the laughs tonight. It was a pleasure stopping by.

Anonymous said...

Some things are just sadly universal. Being on a bloggers schedule doesn't help much either. All the late nights @ the "office". The man can only take so many excuses! :oP Great blog. Consider yourself followed - in the noncreepy kind of way.
